Prague Travel Guide

The hundred-spired golden city on the Vltava, with Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and the clock, Gothic meeting Baroque.

📍 Destination Overview

Prague, capital of the Czech Republic, straddles the Vltava and is called the city of a hundred spires, its centre a World Heritage site. Prague Castle is the world's largest ancient complex; Charles Bridge holds thirty Baroque saints, and the Old Town clock performs its apostle procession each hour. Gothic, Baroque and Art Nouveau crowd together, making the city an open-air museum.
